Engelberger Rotstock, Mountain summit in Uri Alps, Switzerland.

The Engelberger Rotstock rises to 2,818 meters above sea level, marking the border between the Swiss cantons of Obwalden and Uri.

The mountain stands near Engelberg Abbey, established in 1122, which influenced the development of regional tourism and mountaineering activities.

The mountain region maintains traditional alpine farming practices, with local shepherds moving their cattle between seasonal pastures according to elevation.

Multiple mountain huts, including the Gitschenhörelihütte at 2,325 meters and Brunnihütte at 1,860 meters, provide overnight accommodation for hikers.

The summit offers direct views of six different emergency shelters positioned at varying altitudes, from 1,829 meters to 3,025 meters.
